Even the air seemed oppressive yes
terday about the great stone house at
the corner of Jackson and Tenth streets,
where the remains of the late Commo-
dOre Davidson were lying, awaiting III
terment, and silent female figures NOV
ing nOiselesSly about the darkened
rooms added to the Solemnity of the

and big maStitf, formerly great pet

1t was agreed yesterday that the funeral
should take place Sunday afternoon at
3O'clock, but other necessary details
must await the arrival of certain men,
berS of the family who cannot reach st.
Paul until night.
All day long sympathiZing friends
anxious to pay respect to the memory of
the dead commodore, as well as to COM
fort the mourning family. were at the
house with prOffered assistance, but
Mrs. Davidson could not see visitors,
being utterly Frustrated by the sudden
bereavement

The dead man was mentioned, followed
expressions of regret, especially from
those who had been associated with him

on the Office entrances opposite the
GLOBE building was a constant re-
reminder OF the cOmmunity'S loss.
Rev. Z. d. Neill said to a GLOBE
reporter that he had not been very init
mate With him. He came to st. Paul
early in 1862 said the minister, land
at once entered upon an energetic ca
reer in the business of SteambOating.
His name was always synonymous with
honesty and fair dealing, and he was i'm
every way a representative citizen of
whom st. Paul might well be proud. 1t
was not my good fortune to know Com
mod0re Davidson personally, but
heard so much about him, even when
thousands of miles separated us, that |
grew to look upon him in the light of all
old friend.
When left st. Paul he was Just en-
tering upon his busy career, and when,
after lapse Ofyears, returned to my
home. the commodore was reputed to
have amaSSed a competency and was
quietly enjoying it. All my friends
knew him, and he was frequent topic
OF conversation, and cited as an example
o. what pluck and integrity would ac-
complish in this Western country. L
regret that my relations were not more
intimate with this good citizen of Min
neS0ta. and | am almost ashamed to
confess my ignorance of one who was
SO distinguished among his associates. y

of the action of the board and offered
them the piece of property which they
eventually purchased. At the sametime
another real estate man had an option
on the property at $4,000, and when he
learned of the scoop he and the other
real estate dealers naturally feltsore,
and last nights action of the union was
the result of their dissatisfaction. This
is the story given to GLOBE repre-
sentative by one in a position@to know,
and it may be taken for whatit is worth.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Bos-
ton, Lienau and Minea was appointed
to wait upon the board of public works
and ascertain why the sprinkling con-
tracts were not carried out. The-com-
mittee on statistics was instructed to
wait upon Postmaster Day and ascer-
tain why the business portion of West
st. Paul was not served with three de-

Among Other Things 1t Discusses
q School House Site.

The West ST. Paul Citizens union held
its regular meeting last evening. The
committee on streets, roads and parks
reported that they had been informed by
the city engineer that an order had been
received. from the council to prepare
plans for the Colorado street bridge, but
that it would probably be four weeks
before they are completed. In reg ard
to the DucaS street bridge, the commit
tee reported that the engineer lad seen
the railroad officials. ai!d a. before. they
had excuses to offer explaining why
they had moi begun work on the bridge.
Mr.. Lienau offered a resolution that
West side representatives in the
council be asked TO take steps
toward having the main sewer laid
along Chicago avenue to the river. The
resolution was adopted. but it is the
opinion of majority of the members
that the present system may be extended
out into the river, 50 as 10 answer all

FAIR GROUND IMPROVEMENT
Supt. Cross Tells What viii be
Done There.

Supt. Cross. of the state fair grounds,
was walking up Third street at Il rat
fling pace yesterday afternoon, dressed
in a nobby suit of light cloth and Il
iaunty straw hat.
Hello" yelled back the Superin-
tendent to reporters Salutation, as he
came 10 full stop and leaned up
against Il tobacco sign to rest himself.
"How are things at the fair grounds"
inquired the reporter.
Blooming, replied Cross, 'boOm-
ing" and then he told of improvements
that were about to be made. The direc-
tors and officers of the association
held meeting on the fair grounds
Thursday when they decided to put up
two new buildings. One will be eS-
pecially for the exhibition of carriages
and wagons of every description. 1t
will be an immense structure and will
be erected at cost of several thousand
dollars. There will be two floors and
nm effort will be made to fill them both
with exhibits. and the directors have no
doubt that they will be successful and
give the people of Minnesota finer eX-
hibitiun of this kind than they have ever
had before.
Besides this exhibition building there
will be erected near the railroad for
age building for the storage OF all the
provision to be used fof the stock on
the grounds during the fair. This Struc-
turr will cover wide area and will cost
several thousand dollars.
Arrangements are being made to
furnish the grounds and all the build
ingS with water Heretofore the water
has been conducted to the buildings in
wooden pipes. These will be taken up
and galvanized iron pipes laid in their
stead at heavy expenditure.
There are now $50 head of horses in
the stables boarding there regularly and
working on the track daily, and more
are coming. 1t is feared that the accom-
m0dations fer racing stock will have to
be enlarged The track, Superintendent
Cross says. is in magnificent'shape, and
some of the best time ever made in the
Northwest may be confidently looked for
next fall.
Preparations are being made for four
trOtting events to come Off on the after
noon OF some day next week. Admis-
sion to the matinee will be free and a
big attendance is locked for.

the latter he was .vainly tfying 10 hide a
base ball bat. He. was quietly sneaking
into the woodShed to hide the aforesaid
bat when he was ceilared by Il man who
was evidently his father, or perhaps
stepfather.

And from the sounds shat went out
from that woodsheG. on the still evening
air, it was evident that TIE old man was
making base bits by the dozen. and it
required only one inning to decide the
game.

At the base ball park day before yes

while the players were yet pTacticing, a
gentleman in the grand stand said, III q

DO NOT FAVOR A TUNNEL
For the Selby Avenue Cable Line
at Summit Avenue.

The Summit Avenue Improvement
association held its annual meeting at
the Summit Avenue Lookout last night
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: w. b. Dean, presi-
dent; r. NJ. Newport, vice president;
Col. Bend, secretary; F. b. Clarke,
treasurer. The matter of tunnelling
the avenue where the Selby avenue
cable line is to cross was discussed at
some length. City Engineer Rundlett
displayed a profile of the grade from
Third street to Selby avenue. and Il. V.
Bacon moved a resolution opposing the
project as impractical. A delegation Of
Selby avenue residents were present,
and through their spokesman, DR.. Day
and ID, A. MontfOrt, represented that
the tunnel would cut Off the outlet Of
Selby avenue completely and result in
inealeulable damage to the property on
that thoroughfare. as far as Harrington
avenue, and that if the tunnel
was built they should insist upon
the payment of those DAM
ages. Aid. SanbOrn also discouraged
the project as too expensive, and Sug-
gested that it would delay the building
of the cable line several years. He
thought that the next Legislature would
authorize the issuing of bends leaving
it to the taxpayers of the whole city to
bear the expense, which would probably
amount to at least S3G0,000. The motion
by Mr.. Bacon was finally withdrawn
and the matter la i'll over indefinitely.
